Abstract

Jacqueline Brown Richardson, known as Jackie, Patricia Ryan, known as Pat, Tanisha Hill and Jessica Rivera, lived and grew up in the Amsterdam Houses and Amsterdam Addition NYCHA projects in the Lincoln Square neighborhood which was once a part of the neighborhood known as San Juan Hill. Fordham students in VART 2222: The Art of the Interview, led by Professor Catalina Alvarez, interviewed them to hear their stories of growing up in the Amsterdam housing communities, the changes that have happened and strategies to support the community that they feel is in desperate need for uplift.
